Nero 7 issue - Nero Scout really annoying delays!

(1/4) > >>

Carol Haynes:
Having installed Nero 7 I was nonplussed to find that opening a Windows Explorer window had a delay of of up to 15 seconds before it was useable.

I tracked it down to Nero Scout a new utility for indexing media files in Nero 7. Personally I really do not want this function, and nothing would induce me to use Nero Home (their incredibly clunky media playing system) so I thought I will uninstall all the bits I don't want (and there are many).

To cut a long story short there is no way to uninstall Nero Scout, even if non of the programs it is designed to support are installed. You can disable it in the options but this still doesn'f fix the file browsing delay (it also affects Directory Opus).

If you want to get rid of it I have found that deregisterring one of the DLLs kills Nero Scout without affecting other parts of the package that I use.

If you want to get rid of Nero Scout hit Start > Run and eexecute the command:

regsvr32 -u "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Ahead\Lib\MediaLibraryNSE.dll"

assuming that you install to the normal standard folders. Note that the quotes "" are important.

As a bitchy follow on comment, I am really not impressed with this new version. It doesn't remember last use setting like Nero 6 did (eg. I have to manually select DVD every time I try to burn a DVD as it now defaults to CD even on DVD drives) and I am finding the new video components aren't as effective at importing DVD-VR format discs.

Add to that massive amounts of bloat and unnecessary extras (Yahoo toolbar is installed unless you are careful on the download page) and personally I wish I had stayed at version 6.

looks like nero is on track to be one of those great apps that goes on a path of bloatation and becomes unusable at which point the cycle resets and we start looking for another simple pure app that just gets the job done.

wise words, wise words...

Carol Haynes:
Anyone know a decent basic burning alternative, preferably with a full verify?

The main reason I use Nero is that it can systematically verify the disc contents against the source when it has finished, few other utilitities seem to have this feature.

Can someone also explain (following an earlier thread) why Music CD copies suffer degradation in copying (hence the need for specialist software to copy them) when Nero compares sector for sector in RAW mode copying?

Veign:
You should read the reviews on Amazon about Nero 7 - nothing good to say.  That stopped me from buying.  I am am sticking with the 6.x release - been happy with it and no problems.
